Title: Correcting protein induced error in ph-sensitive ise comprising a polymeric membrane
Inventor: KROUWER JAN S
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a means to substantially decrease the pH bias  that is commonly observed with pH data obtained using ion selective electrod e (ISE) containing instruments that have a solvent polymeric membrane based IS E pH electrode. The pH bias is reduced by utilizing the discovery that protein  induces an apparent bicarbonate ion concentration ([HCO3-]) interference. Th e pH bias has also been found to vary as a function of protein loading. Additionally, this protein-induced bias in membrane-based pH sensors was fou nd to be relatively constant in the normal protein range (typically ranging fro m about 4 to about 8 g/dl) such that the total pH bias in this protein range i s a function of ([HCO3-]). Thus, in the normal protein range, the pH bias can be corrected for by a single equation using the available ([HCO3-]) value.</SDO AB>

Title: A method of implementing cashless play of gaming devices interconnected by a computer network
Inventor: ACRES JOHN F
IPC: A63F13/00
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: A method for transferring credits between gaming devices connected by a network to a host computer comprising. A player account accessible by the host computer is created. The player can access the account by inserting a card into a card reader at one of the gaming devices. A casino employee may apply credit to the account responsive to receipt of funds from the player. A predetermined amount of credit is transferred from the account to an EGM responsive to a command entered by the player at the EGM. Alternatively, the player applies a credit to the gaming device, typically by inserting bills into a bill acceptor. The credit and any awards resulting from gaming-device play are stored on a credit meter associated with the gaming device. Access to the account is terminated when the player withdraws the card from the card reader. A player initiates a request to redeem the balance stored on the credit meter by depressing a cash-out button. The balance on the credit meter is transferred to the player account if the cash-out button is pressed before the card is withdrawn, and is paid to the player via the gaming machine if the button is pressed after the card is withdrawn. All transactions are backed up on a database.

Title: Soybean oil process
Inventor: TYSINGER JERRY E
IPC: C11B1/10
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A solvent extraction free, caustic refining free, process for producing refined soybean oil from soybeans is described in which soybeans, offer cleaning, cracking and dehulling, are crushed in less than 60 seconds while heating the soybeans to a frictionally generated temperature of from about 300°F to about 370°F. Free fatty acids are then removed through physical refining, instead of previously employed caustic refining, since the low level of nonhydratable phospholipids does not create undesirable flavors during the physical refining process. The resultant oil exhibits a significantly greater frylife that non-hydrogenated soybean oil produced by solvent extraction and caustic refining.

Filed: 2001-03-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne le PNB (.alpha.-phényl-tert-butylnitrone) et ses agents dérivés piégeurs des radicaux libres à base de nitrone, lesquels réduisent sensiblement le développement des nodules prénéoplasiques et inhibent la formation du carcinome hépatocellulaire (HCC) à des taux très bas. Le rôle des espèces réactives de l'oxygène (ROS) dans le développement du cancer est clairement établi depuis des années. Le rôle des ROS dans le développement du cancer est clairement établi dans un système modèle qui consiste à faire suivre à des rats un régime carencé en choline (CD), lequel aboutit au développement du carcinome hépatocellulaire (HCC). L'administration de PBN avec l'eau bue inhibe la formation du HCC. La croissance des nodules prénéoplasiques dans le foie est sensiblement stoppée par l'inclusion de PBN, ou de certains de ses métabolites naturels, dans le régime. L'efficacité du PBN dans la prévention du développement du HCC dans le modèle de foie CD est considérable est due au fait qu'il prévient le développement tumoral après que les cellules cibles ont déjà été initiées, c'est-à-dire génétiquement modifiées en cellules tumorales. L'administration de PBN (ou de ses puissants dérivés) à des humains susceptibles d'avoir déjà développé des nodules prénéoplasiques tumoraux microscopiques est censée prévenir la formation d'une tumeur franche.

Title: Method and device for testing a mat made of biomass particles
Inventor: DUEHOLM STEN
IPC: G01N23/18
Filed: 2002-12-10
Abstract: A testing device tests a mat that is moved in one direction and that is made of biomass particles for manufacturing boards. On one side of the mat, radiation sources are positioned with a transversely spaced-apart relationship transverse to the direction of motion. On the other side of the mat, a line of detector elements is arranged beneath each of the radiation sources. A fan-shaped beam impinges on said detector elements.  The beam passes either through one standard body, through the mat, or through neither the standard body nor the mat and is received by the detector elements and converted into electric output signals. The output signals are transferred via lines to an evaluating circuit that controls a device for removing mat portions that contain unwanted matter or the weight per unit area of which is too low.
